Forgetting

Our past thoughts and young dreams-
Those are memories we have kept in mind, or so it seems,
For what is to be remembered is soon forgotten.

Fantasized wishes dash on by,
But to catch them, people don’t even care to try.
And when they start to whine and complain,
Who is it that they should all really blame?

Maybe it’s the shoving aside of what really matters,
Or perhaps neglect that leaves things in tatters?
Our indifference to those little, trivial things
Perchance will lead to more painful stings?

Disappointment, losses, and most certainly regret,
Followed by accusations and many a threat.
Now answer me truthfully, try not to stall:
Is careless forgetting the answer to anything at all?
